A Few things to talk about...

So how is it going everyone? New year and the Xmas holiday went well. I haven't posted anything in a while again and its mainly because no one reads my blog anyway. If you do read this send me an email about anything you want me to talk about. I talk mostly about video games and the video game world so if you have a thought or something shoot me an email at ronald.lee.farmer@gmail.com. I will get back to you and put your name in the new post.

So lets get into a few things. First lets talk about Call of Duty Black Ops. It has been a few months now and I still feel the game is the best that I have played in the Call of Duty line. The game play is amazing, levels are still feeling new and the weapons are amazing. They have announced that they are releasing a map pack on Febuary 1. 2011. Its is going to include 4 new multiplayer maps and one Zombie Map. Whoopadedo on the Zombie map I guess. I never play Zombies, I don't find it fun, and instead of that lets add a new weapons pack. I mean the weapons they have now are awesome but lets throw in some new ones to spice things up. I have not heard much on the new maps but had heard that they are adding one that takes place in a hockey rink. HOW SWEET IS THAT!?!?!? I guess thats just me. (new hockey fan past two years) Anyway I will write more on what I feel about the maps when they come out so be on the look out for that.

Now, lets talk about a few games I am exicted about that are coming out soon. First Dead Space 2. If you have not played the first one...YOU SHOULD! Its so much fun. It almost reminds me of a movie called Event Horizon. If you have not seen that movie you should check it out. Its like a sci fi space thriller. Shows you how you can just lose you mind in space and how there is really no where to go once on the ship. Anyway back to the game. It looks great! I played through the demo and the new suit looks sweet! Weapons are really cool and the blood and guts are amazing. Just remember...when you think they are dead....you are dead wrong. Those fuckers will jump outta no where and F you up! Anyway check it out if you are into Resident Evilish games with a Sci Fi story.

Second game I want to talk about is Marvel vs. Capcom 3! Now let me first start by saying....I SUCK at fighting games. I really do. I have not ever been good at a single one in my life, but I like them. This game looks like so much fun. Ironman, Deadpool, dudes from SSF IV, all of them. Its a cell shaded game and if you dont know what that is, its kinda like a living comic book. It looks really good and also looks like it could be fun. Dont try and send me an invite while I am playing online though (Xbox live name is PoopieSeater) because I will not play you. I will buy this game to play the AI and thats it. Ill keep you post on what I think and maybe you can send me an email to bash my thoughts.

So I guess I will wrap this up at this point (No one will read this anyway)by telling you to check out my YouTube Page. http://www.youtube.com/user/RonnieFarmer13?feature=mhum
I have made a few videos from Black Ops and also some from my son. Check it out. Subscribe to my page and like my videos. Again remember if you have something you wanna talk about or if you just wanna bitch at me send emails to ronald.lee.farmer@gmail.com Thanks again and Stay Frosty!

COD: Black Ops

So its that time again huh? New COD out and its all the rage! Its been a while from my last post but hang in there more good stuff to come. Saying that lets get into this Black Ops madness.

So Last night was the first time in about 5 years for me going to a Midnight Release. I gotta say I did kinda show up late but expected more people to be there one, and GameStop to do a little more as far as getting prizes out and making it worth my while to be there at midnight (other then getting the game I have been waiting over 6 months to get).

Many of the reviews are in and so far they are pretty good. Now here is the thing. Everyone is going to compare it to MW2. I understand why, its the COD line. Sure, but these are two totally different games. Now I have not yet played through the single player mode but have played some Multiplayer. I gotta say...it was great! I love having an MP5 back again like from the first MW. The levels look nice, the sounds are good. The voice communication is stellar! I flew through my first FFA game with a 26 kill win! I love it.

So far its pretty good. I am still only a level 8, but plan to play a ton the rest of this week (fucking work is killing my game time). More reviews to come. Ill get on that single player soon as well to let you know what I think.

"Stay Frosty"

Social Networking/Blogging

So I guess the world, she is a changin. Now days everyone has a Facebook, or a Twitter Account, or a Blog. Wow seems a but much sometimes with everyone trying to scream out and say something to the world. Everyone is leaving such a mark behind that when we are dead and gone our kids kids will be able to look back on us and see how much we partied, and how many F Bombs we dropped online (PS I drop F Bombs on Facebook like crazy).

So it make you wonder. What did our parents do to get the word out when they were our age? They did not have cell phones. No computer to log on to the internet with. Shit they didn't even have a pager to "Beep" someone.(Tell me you all remember having a beeper. That shit was cool as hell!) So what did they do you may ask? Well I can not speak for your parents but my dad would cruise, or just hang out with his buddies in public. Now that sounds weird to say that right? When was the last time you just went and hung out on the block with your buddies. Shit I could not tell you the last time I did.

He is my point. With the ease of life we have today social networking has killed face to face communication. We no longer go see family, or friends. Instead we write on there wall, or look at what the Tweeted about to see whats going on in their life. Now this can be sort of a double edged Sword, if I may. When I was following a little person by the name of @OGOchoCinco, this guy tweets every 2 seconds! Really?! I do not need to know that you ate pancakes for breakfast. I do not need to know that you wiped your ass after crapping. I do not need to know about everything in your life. People in this world have become so obsessed with other peoples lives (Mainly Celebs) that they forget to live their own.

Now you say to yourself. "Ronnie how in the hell can you write something like this on a blog. You are talking about yourself here!" I am. You are 100% right. I am talking about the same shit that I am doing now. You want to know why? This is one of the only ways to be heard anymore. It is the only way to get my word out! Hell you guys do it. Right?

Anyway I hope that some people may read this and think maybe next time instead of talking to people online. Get together. Share some time with each other. Get to know each other on another, more personal, level. If I could steal a quote from one of the worlds greatest movies " Be righteous to each other." -Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

I said GOOD DAY SIR!

PSP and PSP GO/PSP GO Phone

Okay so this may be a sore subject for all you Sony Fan boys but here goes.

Why do they still make theses things? Is anyone really even playing them? I mean they were cool at first but now what do they have to offer? Games are really bad. I have yet to hear of any one game that has been "Amazing". UMD games? Who else uses this technology? I'll tell you.... NO ONE!

Okay so now that I got you Sony guys listening (and probably a little pissed) please explain to me why the PSP Go is better. Now that I have all the UMD games from me upgrading to the Go, I can not even use them! What the hell Sony!? Are you kidding me? Now you want me to pay to download games off your network? Wow thanks. Now you may say to yourself like I did : What about used games? Well forget it! Not going to happen. This is Sony's way of saying "F you Gamestop, and other used game markets!"

Now I am a big fan of the used game. You should be too! Game Companies make TONS I mean TONS of money off these games. Don't be fooled by the "poor little me" postings that these game companies post up online. Being able to trade my used games that I will no longer play is great! I get to buy a used or new game that I will. They, along with the game maker get money from this. I will forever agree with the right to sell used games.

Now lets get into this Sony PSP Phone. Sony, did you not learn for the Nokia Engage? That thing flopped harder then The Hills have Eyes 2! Please do not do this! Yeah okay its going to run on Android 3.0, whatever, so will every other phone on the market. So if anyone is reading this (I hope someone reads this otherwise I am wasting my time) comment and let me hear what you have to say.  I know I am not always right, but most of the time I am.

I said GOOD DAY SIR!

A little bit about myself

Well…Where do I start? I guess by telling you a little about myself. My name is Ronnie. I am a 27 year old from the great city of Cincinnati. Love it here. I am a combat Veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom 2007-2008. I work Tech Support for a company that is based in Cincinnati. I talked on the phone pretty much all day!
I am an avid gamer. I love everything game related. I am a big Xbox 360 gamer so most of this will be about that. Right now I am pretty heavy into Modern Warfare 2. I mean who isn’t right? Its a great game. Everything you need, good weapons, great game types and even better…TONS OF PEOPLE TO PLAY! The one problem I have is the hacking/cheating. This is not a fault of the game creators but the players themselves. Now dont get me wrong here, Power to the People all the way, but I mean come on here! Its getting a little retarded.
Someone needs to clean up the leaderboards and get these people off of the game. They are ruining it for the other people that play for real. I mean look at the top like 10,000 people. They all hacked. Anyway just my thoughts on that.
Stay turned in for more of my thoughts on other games and the gaming world. Thanks for reading and look out for more posts to come.
I said good day
